Comparative Assessment of Real-Time and Offline Short-Lag Spatial Coherence Imaging of Ultrasound Breast Masses
Results are promising to support real-time SLSC imaging and gCNR application to real-time SLSC images to enhance sensitivity and specificity, reduce reader variability, and mitigate uncertainty about fluid or solid content, particularly when distinguishing complicated cysts (which are benign) from hypoechoic solid masses (which could be cancerous).
